Jazz dance is a mixture of technical movement and modern music.

​

With its roots in early jazz music, "Jazz Dance" has evolved through time and the term jazz can be difficult to tie to one specific time period.

​

Our jazz classes start with a full dance warm up followed by stretching and technical exercises from the corner and in the centre.

These often include travelling steps, kicks, leaps and turns.

​

These techniques and steps will then be combined to create technical based routines which may also feature floor work and partnering.

​

The routines can be choreographed to modern day pop music, theatrical dance pieces or iconic jazz.

​

Our choreographers often draw inspiration for their routines from iconic dancers such as Bob Fosse.
